LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Even though its reviews were almost universally middling-to-negative, the preview of "American Dad" drew more than 15 million viewers to FOX on Sunday (Feb. 6) night. That successful performance has prompted FOX to juggle its future Sunday line-up, which may mean bad things for Emmy-winning comedy "Arrested Development."
"American Dad," the new animated comedy from "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, will still have its real premiere on Sunday, May 1. FOX has, however, moved the show up an hour from 9:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET. "American Dad" will now officially launch between the 350th episode of "The Simpsons" and the fourth season premiere of "Family Guy."
The series, which will air encores as part of Cartoon Network\'s Adult Swim block, focuses on mid-level CIA agent Stan Smith, his wife, his two kids, his alien and his fish with the brain of a German guy.
FOX also announced that the schedule will allow the first three episodes of "American Dad" to air after new episodes of "The Simpsons."
As a result of the shift, "Arrested Development" will now have to end its second season by late April. According to The Hollywood Reporter, FOX is expected to reduce its order for "Arrested Development," though specifics haven\'t been announced. Despite endless critical acclaim and awards attention, "Development" is averaging only 6.06 million viewers per week this season in the Sunday 8:30 p.m. time slot.
Ron Howard, Mitchell Hurwitz, Brian Grazer, and Jason Bateman were on Charlie Rose Tuesday night talking about how Fox was letting shows "get their legs" before making any moves with them.
David Cross was on Kimmel last night? He said he found out from the Internet that production had been halted. Fox didn\'t even bother to call him. He didn\'t sound optimistic about the situtation. He said he can\'t wait to see what Fox puts on in its place (apparently he doesn\'t know about American Dad) and joked that it would probably be a cartoon reality show. -

I wish I could say that I\'m surprised. Unfortunately, the show is too good for its own good. But don\'t cancel episodes. Air it at 9:30 and let the 6.06 million watch. What does Fox have to offer that\'s better? A spinoff of Herman\'s Head?

Dear Arrested Development Fans:
Thank you for your e-mail and your passionate support of Arrested Development. While the show has finished production for its second season, contrary to the rumors you may have heard or read on the internet, it is NOT cancelled.
We at FOX love Arrested Development and we look forward to having the Bluth family back on FOX in the future - hopefully for many years. You can help make the show a bigger success by getting as many people as possible to start watching the show this Sunday and every Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Sincerely,
Fox Broadcasting Company

Arrested Development
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES: Rumors are swirling that Fox has cut short
Arrested Development\'s season, trimming its episode order from 20 to
18. Not so, says a source close to the show. "Nothing\'s definite,"
maintains the insider. "There\'s two more weeks before [the network]
has to make a final decision [on how many episodes it wants]. In
either case, it\'s not canceled." It better not be.

I love how Buster tries to mimic Gob\'s routine.
C\'mon Fox, what\'s next? The Simple Life: Orthopedic Surgeons? -

maybe I\'ll stick it in her brownie...

"....to the nuts!!!"
HAHAHA!!! -

great, downright looney episode! SO many lines...
Lucille: that ****!
Michael: You?re not at home, Mom. She doesn?t live next door when you?re here.
Lucille 2: I?m going to my spin class.
G.O.B.: I thought you had vertigo.
Michael: You?ve got to stop quoting when you drink.
Michael: Sorry. Your grandmother had a little accident here.
George Michael: Oh. Does that mean she?s going to have to come live with us?
Michael: No, no. No. It was her drink, and even if it wasn?t...
Stan Sitwell: I look like Edgar Winter here. Forget it. I?ve gotta get to spin class.
Michael: So, what do you say? We got a basket full of father-son fun here.
George Michael: What?s Kama Sutra oil? :lol:
Michael: Maybe it?s not for us.
Tobias: Oh, that is quite a basket you?ve got there, Michael. That Sally Sitwell is one lucky lady.
Tobias: I?m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I?m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands. rotfl
Michael: There are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.
Tobias: Oh... body chocolate.
It?s a wonderful package. I?ll take it.
Tobias: Well, Michael, you really are quite the Cupid, aren?t you? I tell you, you can zing your arrow into my buttocks any time.
Michael: Okay, you know what you do? You buy yourself a tape recorder, you just record yourself for a whole day. I think you?re going to be surprised at some of your phrasing.
Tobias: Butterscotch! Want a lick?
Lindsay: Chaw-chee, chaw-chee, chaw-chee, chaw.
Michael: What is that? Is that a chicken?
G.O.B.: What?s this?
Lindsay: Oh, Michael?s scared to ask out Sally.
Michael: No, I?m not.
Lindsay: Chaw, chee-chaw, chee-chaw.
G.O.B.: Oh, this is priceless.
Michael: You look ridiculous...
G.O.B.: Coka-coh! Coka-coh! Coka-coka-coka-coh...
Michael: Come on. These aren?t even birds.
^^ the deuling chickens were priceless!! rotfl
Lucille: Buster. Nice of you to take a break from that common **** you?ve been dating.
Buster: She is not a ****, Mother. She happens to be the new secretary of the Bluth Company. And, yes, she?s more experienced than a normal girl, but sometimes love should be terrifying.
Lucille: Well, I shouldn?t complain. It?s better than you dating Lucille 2, that ****!
Buster: Lucille 2?s not a ?B,? Mother. She?s kind, and she?s caring and she?s certainly less experienced than that **** that I?m dating now.
Uncle Jack: He?s half deaf. It was a stupid, stupid hire. Not higher! Eye level! Eye level!
Uncle Jack: Look at that? I pinned him! I pinned the Army man! God bless you for being in the Army. Up, Dragon! Left. Left with vigor.
Lindsay: Boy, that Dragon?s cute, huh?
Michael: What, the deaf giant who?s holding our fake uncle?
Michael:Lindsay, I give you one thing to do for the business, and you can?t even do it. I mean, if you?d tried and failed, I?d understand, but you didn?t even try.
Lindsay: So I didn?t even fail, and I don?t see you giving me credit for that.
Uncle Jack: Unfortunately, that moose was holding me, so I couldn?t make my move. Of course, I couldn?t make that move without that moose, but that?s my challenge.
Maeby: Oh, hey, Michael. My dad wanted me to thank you for the romantic getaway. Don?t tell me what that means.
Michael: Where is your dad?
Maeby: He left dressed all westerny. You can leave me out of that part, too.
Michael: I screwed my brother-in-law.
Maeby: Well, I?m all grown up now.
Tobias: Well, you certainly didn?t help my reputation as a ladies man with Jeff. But we?ll clear all that up in the spa when I get my facial. :sigh:
Michael: Hey, did you ever get that tape recorder?
Tobias: You know, Michael, perhaps I should buy you that tape recorder. Do you have any idea how often you say the word ?afraid??
Michael: Well, I-I know I used it in the Jacuzzi.
Tobias: And I apologize for that. I thought it was a pool toy.
Buster: How?d you like to take a nap, baldy?
Narrator: ... Tobias listens to a day?s worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to, ...
Tobias: (On tape.) ...even it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias: (On tape.) Oh, I?ve been in the film business for a while, but I just can?t seem to get one in the can.
Tobias: It?s out of context.
Tobias: (On tape.) I wouldn?t mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Narrator: (... and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.)
Tobias: Tobias... you blowhard!
:thumbsup::thumbsup: -

I don\'t think there\'s any lines left. Maybe I\'ll think of one while I look for my sourball.

Literally spat out my drink when Lindsey started her dance! I would have to say overall one of the top 5 episodes of either season. Martin Short was brilliant as usual and I look 4ward to seeing more of fake Uncle Jack

Production on \'Arrested Development\' halted
Associated Press
February 17, 2005
LOS ANGELES - Production on "Arrested Development" has been arrested.
Fox is halting production after 18 episodes - four shy of the usual 22.
advertisement
And that brings the season - and maybe the series - to a premature end on April 17.
"Arrested Development" has been honored all over the place with an Emmy as best comedy and a Golden Globe for Jason Bateman. But apparently, that\'s not enough to get people to watch.
During this second season, "Arrested Development" is averaging 6 million viewers a week. That\'s down from last season\'s average audience of 6.2 million.
And although it\'s apples and oranges since "American Dad" aired Super Bowl night, compare that with the "American Dad" preview that drew 15 million viewers. -

The problem is that everyone who watch\'s the show watches it in a group. I know all my friends and I get together Sundays to watch it. Do we really have to leave our TV\'s on all Sunday night just to keep the funniest show on TV alive? It\'s all Ty Pennington\'s fault. Extreme Makeover Home Edition. If we could only deal with that show all else would fall into place......
